SXSW Open Discussion: Painful Inbox Edition

My inbox wins. I give up. I am selling it on eBay and creating a new account. So many new emails. I’ll try to parse through them for a SXSW update tonight, but in the meantime I figured I’d open up a discussion for people to post info, questions, comments, and other insults.

Soundcheck Magazine is proud to partner with $2 Shows and Paul Mitchell Schools to collect donations for The Children?s Miracle Network during the party! $2 Shows?mission is to support community art by uniting different types of artists for a monthly event, with ALL proceeds donated to a non-profit organization. Although the party is free, our goal is to raise $2000 for The Children?s Miracle Network, which donates funds to 170 children?s hospitals that save and improve the lives of 17 million children each year. Volunteers from $2 Shows and Paul Mitchell Schools will be on hand at the event to collect your donation in exchange for free “goodies”, including tacos from Austin?s famous Mexican restaurant, El Arroyo!

i went by acc today. there was a long line of the volunteers to check in. i got one of the forms. to get a wristband, you have to work 40 hours. if a wristband is $200. that is $5 an hour. less than minimum wage. you also have to work 40 hours to get a film pass which i think costs $70. you do the math.
